You will see beautiful, untouched and unspoiled islands and atolls, swim in gin clear waters, snorkel the best, most vividly colorful reefs, and have amazing secluded beaches just to yourself!

Looping was designed and built in Belgium by acclaimed naval architect Richard Luscher, as the prototype for the LOOPING range which has been a wildly successful range of world cruising performance catamarans. She has 2 queen staterooms, 2 double staterooms a workshop and expansive bridge deck with galley, dining, lounging and navigation area. The yacht has 1 large shower washroom area and a separate toilet. She has a 40 litter per hour desalinator, hot water showers, 220-volt power and a large solar array that provides all/most of the yachts power requirements.

Mornings are started with fresh brewed espresso or tea and your choice of hot breakfast with an array of local fruits. We then sail to the days destination and arrive before lunch.
